DOOR-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 15, 1907.

Application filed Februarv 28, 1906. Serial No. 303,448.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY C. SWAFFORD, a citizen of the United States, residing at East Jordan, in the county of Charlevoix, State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door-Hangers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to door-hangers and has for its object to provide a device of this character of such construction that the door may be hung after the frame has been finished and may be removed without destroying the appearance of the frame.

A further object of the invention is to provide a construction which may be adjusted to suit warping or sagging of the door-frame without the removal of the door from its hanger.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through a door-frame, the door and the hanger. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the hanger removed from the door and its frame. Fig. 3 is a similar view of the socket for the door supporting arm of the hanger, and, Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view through the door supporting arm and its socket.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 5 denotes a portion of a door-frame and 6 a laterally movable door.

Mounted in the door-frame 5 is the usual form of track 7 which is held in spaced relation to the frame by means of blocks 8.

A hanger for the door 6 comprises a plate having its upper end bent over upon itself as at 9 and journaled in the bent over portion of the hanger is a flange-wheel 10. A portion of the hanger extends downwardly to a point below the lower edge of the track 7 and is thence curved upwardly and inwardly as at 11 for engagement with the said track to limit the lateral and upward movement of the door:

Depending from the portion- 11 of the hanger 9 and tongues 12 is the upper end of a door supporting arm 15 which is in the form of an eye 14 through which and the tongue 12 is engaged a pintle 16 which serves to hingedly connect. the door supporting arm 15 with the bracket 9.

Seated in the upper portion of the door 6 at suitable points are sockets 17 which are rectangular in form to receive the lower end ofthe door supporting arm 15 and which includes plates 18 by means of which the said sockets may-be held in place in the door.

Engaged through one side of each socket 17 is a setscrew 19 which is adapted to impinge upon the arm 15 to support the door in proper adjusted position.

From the foregoing it will be readily seen that the door may be disconnected from its hangers without injury to the same and that it may be adjusted to suit sagging of the same.

What is claimed, is:

The combination with a door and its casing, and a track supported within the casing, of a hanger for the door, a pulley journaled in the hanger and adapted to travel upon the track, the said hanger including a downwardly di rected extension bifurcated to form spaced leaf portions, the track, the said hanger including a downwardly directed door supporting arm comprising a plate, a tongue formed integral with the upper edge of the plate and bent to form a pintle eye which is received between the spaced pintle eyes formed upon the downwardly directed extension of the hanger, a pintle engaged through all of the eyes, the door being recessed in its upper edge, a socketed body seated snugly and entirely within the recess and having an attaching plate formed integral with its upper end and extending beyond the ends thereof, said attaching plate being countersunk in the upper edge of the door and being secured thereto, the plate portion of the door supporting arm having its lower end portion frictionally seated in the socket in the body of the socket member, the said door being provided through one face with an opening, and the body of the socket being provided through the corresponding face with a correspondingly threaded opening, the two openings being in registration, and a set screw engaged through the said wall of the socket and bearing against the plate portion of the door supporting arm, said set screw having its head extending through the opening in the face of the door.

In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.

HENRY C. SWAFFORD.

Witnesses C. A. THOMPSON, EUGENIA BOOSINGER.
